Short Term Trade Finance
Hydra Global offers a wide range of short-term trade finance solutions designed to meet the dynamic needs of mid-market importers and exporters. Our flagship 180-day Accounts Receivable Purchasing Program (ARPP) provides immediate liquidity by purchasing outstanding invoices, enabling companies to unlock working capital without waiting for customer payments. Complementing this, our flexible 21-month dealership and distributor finance program supports inventory financing and purchase order funding, allowing distributors to maintain strong stock levels and seize market opportunities. These solutions are particularly effective for companies trading in essential commodities such as grain, steel, chemicals, and petroleum products. With Hydra Global’s tailored short-term facilities, mid-market businesses can confidently expand their international trade volumes while maintaining healthy cash flow and minimizing risk.
Equipment Financing
Hydra Global leverages the power of the U.S. Exim Bank to deliver competitive medium-term equipment financing solutions for foreign buyers of American-made machinery and equipment. Through our established Exim Bank partnership, we provide structured financing with repayment terms of up to 10 years, enabling international purchasers to acquire high-value U.S. origin capital equipment while preserving their cash flow and liquidity. We are equipped to support significant transactions of $50 million or more, delivering tailored financing packages that help foreign companies modernize operations, increase productivity, and strengthen their competitive position. By combining our expertise with the backing and risk mitigation of the U.S. Exim Bank, Hydra Global makes large-scale acquisitions of American machinery more accessible and affordable for qualified buyers worldwide.

“Thanks to Hydra Global, we were able to save money and accelerate our construction schedule using Hydra’s American-made breaker panels, which were delivered in half the time of our previous supplier, who was located in Germany. Without Hydra, our construction project would have been delayed for months. We continue to stay in constant contact with Hydra and look forward to working with them in the future.”
